Though I don't want to go Hellgate: London crazy with separate threads (we must've had 50!), I just thought maybe something focused on dev tracker stuff from official forums, and news articles that seem interesting might be useful since the main thread is crazy busy, and scrolling new pages like mad

Here's a news start from Massively. Interestingly, the "updated" is referring to launch figures that Ohlen talked about, and that Massively removed upon Bioware's request. I'm sure he'll get an earful from Stephen Reid about that.

What did you find to be the most "sticky" with players? A lot of our readers are wondering what's going to make them want to play this game over and over again. What are your thoughts on that?

There are a whole bunch of things. Obviously, the thing we've been talking about over and over again is story. We get a lot of comments from players: Unlike any other online games they've played, they really feel attached to their characters' personal story. They care about their avatars a lot more. Unlike other games, SWTOR really immerses players more in the game world, and that makes them want to come back. The story is what's going to drive people to play levels 1 to 50.

We've also been finding that a lot of the other activities we've included -- warzones, the space game, the crafting game -- are becoming quite popular. The warzone PvP is very popular. It's more popular than we thought it was going to be. In fact, I've already been in a warzone that popped in the morning. As soon as people got to level 10, they started queuing up for it. I think there are going to be a lot of people who are attracted to PvP and the warzones.

The space game is getting more popular too. It's more of a minigame. The space missions are daily missions. You do them when you log in for fun or when you're about to log off. I think a lot of players are going to do that.

The crafting and economic game (the auction house, which we call the Galactic Trade Network) is another area. Some players are very attracted to playing the economic game. They want to become really good crafters or they want to sell and buy things at the Galactic Trade Network. That's another activity that's going to attract players.

One of the biggest activities that people are going to do is the flashpoints. A lot of people like to run the flashpoints over and over again. They really like that experience.

What we've done with the experience point curb is give out experience for almost all of your activities: questing, killing creatures, warzones, the space game, flashpoints, world quests. When you're playing through the game from level 1 to 50, you can actually decide what kind of game you want to play.

Do you play a game where you're just focused on questing? You're doing your class story; you're doing the world quests. That's what you're focused on. Do you want to mix it up? You're doing your class quests, but you want to get a lot of your experience points through PvPing in warzones. You can do that, and then you don't have to do as many world quests if you don't want to. Or, for example, you can get a lot of your experience points from flashpoints. You can do your class arc and flashpoints and kind of ignore PvP. Or you can have a total mix. During my last playthrough, I was doing class quests, then heroic quests and the flashpoints, and I also did space when I logged off. This gave me enough experience points to level through the planets the way that I wanted to.

We don't really expect the players to play the game one way. There so many different ways you can tailor the game according to what you like....Six months to a year down the line, what will hold people to the game?

In other MMOs, the team moves on to other games or gets downsized. We've actually kept our team, and we're not working on anything else. It's a little bit different for me. Basically, when I finished with Baldur's Gate, I went on to Baldur's Gate 2, then I immediately went to Neverwinter Nights, then I immediately went to Knights of the Old Republic. But here I'm finished with SWTOR, and it's just more SWTOR. The whole team is that way. We don't have a secret project. It's nothing but new content for The Old Republic. We have teams working on new flashpoints; we have teams working on new operations; we have teams working on new game systems and on new space missions.

One of the new game systems we are working on is giving you the ability to modify your user interface. That's something we've wanted to do for a long time. We have a team dedicated to that. We have a lot of people who are fans of color-matching to chestpiece too. We have people working on that. Guilds are a huge part of the game, so we have a team focused on adding guild functionality to the game. Right now we are working on guild banks. We are going to be working on guild functionality for the foreseeable future -- for years!

We have a lot of content and game systems that we are still working on, and we're going to continue working on them, releasing them on a regular cadence. All of these things are going to be available as part of the subscription, so you don't have to pay extra, too. We are going to be releasing new game systems and content for players. A lot of it is going to be aimed at the elder gameplay. So if you want to continue to play that character instead of an alt, you're going to have access to the new space missions, new flashpoints, operations, and warzones or other PvP activities.

Lot on the legacy system but clearly I've already gone out of control with cut'n'paste, sorry.

Generally speaking we are aiming to limit our scheduled maintenance period to once a week, on Tuesdays. We are aiming for this weekly maintenance period to take place in an off-peak time for both North American and European players. We are also aiming to inform players of the precise duration of any weekly maintenance period at least 24 hours before the maintenance begins.

The upcoming maintenance windows (detailed below) are exceptions, and are needed to prepare ourselves for our official launch on December 20th.Maintenance Window #1:Date:Early hours of Friday, December 16th (CST)Time:2AM CST (12AM PST/3AM EST/8AM GMT/9AM CET)

All game servers and SWTOR.com will be offline during this period. This maintenance is expected to take no more than four hours, but could be extended.

In the "fascinating minutae" category, SWTOR Life looked at the origins of the various server names to date (skipping any where it's based on something discovered in-game and could be something of a spoiler):

While we've worked closely with our retailers in the launch territories to ensure copies of Star Wars: The Old Republic are available from our launch date of December 20th, we understand that for those of you who’ve pre-ordered, there may be a concern about getting your copy on time. We’ve heard you want a 'grace period' where you can continue to play without having to enter a final product registration code (AKA 'game code').

We've been listening, and after doing another deep review of our platform infrastructure, we're taking action. Today, we're announcing a two day grace period for Star Wars: The Old Republic customers.

This means that everyone who pre-ordered and is in the Early Game Access program has forty-eight hours from launch in which to enter their product registration code, which will be found inside the physical Standard and Collector's Editions of the game; for digital editions of the game from Origin.com, the registration code will have been emailed to you after December 16th and will arrive before December 19th at 11:59PM EST.

After December 22nd 12:01AM EST, you will be required to have a valid payment method and a product registration code registered to your account to continue to play. We strongly recommend that you register your product code as soon as you are able to do so (rather than waiting until the last minute) to ensure a seamless entry into the game, a smooth experience on the account website and to collect any special gifts and items you may be entitled to based on the version of the game you purchased.

We understand that for some, your copy of the game may still arrive on or after December 22nd. Unfortunately, we cannot extend the grace period any further. We suggest you contact your retailer to discuss shipping options, if this is a concern.

You may be wondering if your 30 days of game time (included with your purchase of the game) will be affected by the grace period. The answer is no. If you redeem your product registration code during the grace period, and add a valid payment method to your account, you will begin your billing cycle from then, and you will be entitled to 30 days of game time. If you redeem your product registration code before December 20th, your billing cycle will begin on December 20th at 12:01AM EST (the official launch date and time of the game).

Looking forward to tomorrow, I wanted to try and explain the invite 'pattern' you've seen this week. It can be confusing, because we've been inviting a growing number of people on a daily basis, but the timing of people's code redemptions might not seem to match.

It goes back to our pre-order redemption numbers. Our graph of redeemed pre-order codes looks like two mountains with a flat plain in-between, basically. There's a massive peak from back in July (when we announced pre-orders) and a smaller, but growing peak at the end (recently). In the middle, there was a long period where the numbers of people redeeming pre-order codes were steady, but lower.

Now, we've been inviting large numbers of people every day, with more being invited day-on-day. What that has meant is, because of the pattern of pre-order codes being redeemed, on Day One of Early Game Access, we invited a lot of people who had redeemed over a short span of time (late July). Yesterday and today, we invited a lot of people but over a larger span of time (all the way to early December).

The question I know a lot of you have is, why haven't we yet invited those who redeemed very recently? The answer is because of the volume of recent pre-orders that have been redeemed, which is spiking up very high. So, a lot of people have redeemed in a short period of time. Essentially we're in the same place we were on the 13th, where we invited a lot of people, but most had redeemed in the same short period of time.

TL;DR - We've seen a LOT of pre-orders redeemed in the last couple of weeks, and that means that even though we're really close (in date terms) to getting everyone in, we couldn't quite do it today.

Although I'm trying to be committed to the Cantina server with the guild on it, if you see really bad wait ques on that tomorrow, I wouldn't hesitate to try less loaded servers for the weekend and then maybe check out our cantina server some other time.

Damn. Those are some rigorous restrictions. You can't use 'title' names like Darthsomething? Do you get the title later? And, dammit, I wanted to play as the Buddha! (/throws something angrily to the ground)

We've been seeing an increased number of guild leaders deleting themselves immediately after accepting their auto-invite from the Guild Headquarters. This is not good, because auto-invites sent via the web site may only be accepted ONCE per account.

Guild leaders should be very careful to only accept the auto-invite if they intend to keep the character they are accepting the invite with. If you are not sure about your character, decline the invite instead, which will allow you to create future characters and receive the auto-invite again.

By accepting your invite and then immediately deleting your character, the guild will then be in a state where it will be leaderless for up to two weeks.

Guilds that have been put into this state are not stuck, however. While the guild will be leaderless for up to two weeks, around January 3rd the system will automatically promote an officer to the rank of Guild Leader. At that time, the new Guild Leader would be able to "abdicate" his leadership to another guild member.

We ask that guild leaders be VERY careful with their characters, as Customer Service will be unable to assist in situations where guild members are unwilling to promote/demote other members of their guild.

This shouldn't be an issue (as I read it) after early February when they close the web site portion of early deployment guilds. And if you're starting a guild from scratch today, I guess it doesn't apply.

Probably still safest if you're starting a guild, make sure the character doing it is one you plan to stick with and not just one you're fooling around with for a few levels and then deleting.

And 1UP has a fairly concise Character Class Guide:http://www.1up.com/features/star-wars-old-republic-character-class-guide?pager.offset=1*This doesn't get into a lot of detail, it's mostly to help you figure out at a glance what type of class you might like, based on what you might like in other mmorpgs. Note that it seems to just highlight one companion of the several you'll eventually have; I don't know if that's maybe the last one you get, or the one they think is the coolest etc.

The following is a brief statement from Jeff Hickman, Executive Producer, Live Services:

"We know there have been questions about the queues on the servers, so we wanted to take a moment to give you some insight.

In order to ensure that the service would be smooth and stable, we staged how we brought people into the Early Game Access program, adding people in waves. As you know, there are a lot of folks who want to play the game right now and we want to make sure they have lots of people to play with. Balancing this with figuring out when to bring new servers online to help alleviate the size of the queues is part art and part science. On one hand, you do not want people to wait too long – on the other hand, you want to make sure that people have a dynamic, engaging community to play with for long after launch. Either way, we have one clear objective – to make sure folks have fun.

While we can’t promise that there won’t ever be queues, we can promise you that we are taking this matter seriously and constantly reviewing them to make sure that they are manageable and reasonable."

BASIC CONTROLS:Movement: You move the ship around by moving the mouse around. The ship 'glides' in the direction of the mouse point, so you have to be careful about your movement when around collision obstacles.Blasters: Just left click and hold to fire your blasters. The speed of your blaster fire is dependent mostly upon your ship's Beam Generator while the damage of the blasters is affected by the Beam Charger.

Missiles: Right click to fire of your missiles. You have can 4 loaded at a time and the number next to the loaded missiles is how many more you still have left in the bay, which means you have that number plus the number of currently loaded missiles. You can increase the number of missiles your ship can hold by using a Missile Magazine. One of the nice thing about missiles is that they do lots of damage and they don't take away from the recharging of your shields.

Barrel Roll: This simple maneuver is done by hitting the [SPACE] bar. Keep in mind it can only be used so fast and is most effective when you also move your mouse to a different part of the screen. Doing this can help reduce the damage you take. Items such as an Energy Shield and a Shield Regenerator can help reduce the damage you take as well, while Ship Armor increases the total HP of your ship. If these items aren't very high you'll need to use tricky flying and barrel rolls to limit the damage you do take on those harder missions.

You'll receive a quest for each space mission the first time you do them and then they'll be lumped into dailies afterwards. Just go to the bridge of your ship and grab those quests to earn some extra exp and credits. I recommend letting people know you're about to do them if you're engaging in conversation because you lose the chat window while in space (nobody can hear you scream) and it's easy for messages to get buried in exp spam if you use the general settings for your chat tab.

Tips:Upgrade your ship. If you try to do these missions without any upgrades you're going to have a rough time. Grade 1 (hence why I call the missions grade 1) upgrades are recommended and can be purchased from the Starship Upgrade NPC on almost every planet.

Don't lead the target. This isn't like most space games where you have to predict the trajectory of your foe. Just hover the cursor over the target and fire a few shots and then move on. I like to RP that the ship's computer does the calculations for the lasers to hit their intended targets.Stop firing.If you're taking damage to your shield, the only way to let them regen is to stop firing your blasters. That means take caution with your targets and take them down quickly OR you can use missiles. If you know you've got a few to spare and need the extra protection, take down a few fliers with a missile.

Barrel Roll. Ships flying at you shoot at you and do decent damage. While it's ideal to take them out before they can get shots off at you (like when ships are flying away; kill them before they turn around and dive bomb you) it's not always possible. Hitting the [SPACE] bar will let you do a barrel roll which helps with dodging those blasters; just be careful where you roll. Some missions have collision areas (Archenar Interception) and the roll can smack your ship into an asteroid. Also; don't do your barrel rolls after you've been hit (like I did a few times in the videos)Hidden Objectives There are a couple of objectives that reward decent exp that aren't displayed in the mission tracker. In the Balosar Outpost you can destroy the com relay under the station and you can destroy the bridge of the massive capital ship in the Makem Te Assault mission. Be careful when going after these because you might spend too much time, and too many missiles, trying to take them down.

I have found space combat useful for finishing off a level (e.g., going from L18 to L19). If you only have a little while to go, space mission completion XP and the XP for kills within the space mission is quite substantial for a "mini game."

There are about 4 ship ugprades (EMP generator, photon torpedos etc.) that I haven't quite figured out how to get. The ship upgrades vendor doesn't seem to offer them. Maybe they're crafted?

My main tip is be conservative with missiles and save them for objectives that require them or are easier to do with them. Even with the upgrade (40 missiles), you use them up quickly if you're not paying attention. Nothing quite so helpless as having a couple "hard" mission objective things and not having missiles to finish them with.

If you're curious about companion gifts, this player used Google Docs to create an online spreadsheet of companion gifts:NOTE: Certainly if you don't wanna know the names of all the various companions you can get (i.e., if you consider that spoiler-ish), then skip viewing these links below.

*I'm still not sure I understand what the point of the affection stuff is. Does it have any impact on crafting, or their combat abilities? Beyond "shagging" someone down the road in the storyline cause she thinks Blackjack is so wonderful, is there any other point to it?

Tonight at 12:01AM EST we are officially launching Star Wars: The Old Republic.

This is a huge moment for everyone - both the fans and those who created the game. Thanks for being part of the experience so far, and we look forward to running the best game service we can for years to come.

Tonight, we are bringing the servers down for maintenance as we prepare for launch, as previously mentioned. Both the game servers and SWTOR.com will be offline from 6PM CST (4PM PST/7PM EST/12AM GMT/1AM CET) to 11PM CST (8PM PST/12AM EST/5AM GMT/6AM CET).

As well as bringing the existing game servers back online, from 11PM CST onwards we'll be bringing up a large number of new servers, spread across all three of our server locations (US West Coast, US East Coast and Europe). As always, every server is available to anyone to play on - just select your preferred location (US / Europe) from the tab at the bottom of the server select screen.

Even with these additional servers we are expecting queues on the most popular servers, and these queues are likely to persist for a while yet. We are monitoring them closely and raising population caps where necessary, however this is a careful process that is ongoing. Our servers do not have unlimited populations and we want every server to have a healthy population during and after launch.

If you are joining the game for the first time during this launch period, or if you are looking for a lower population server to play on, now is the best time to create a character on a new server. We would strongly advise anyone joining the game to not attempt to create a new character on a server that is listed as 'Full', unless you are comfortable with the potential for queues to enter the server.

Finally, don't forget that after tonight's downtime, you are entering a 'grace period' in which you will need to enter your final product registration code (AKA 'game code') from your copy of the game (or your email from Origin), along with your preferred payment method, to activate your 30 days of game time.As another reminder, we'll be taking down the game servers and SWTOR.com at the end of that 'grace period' at 2AM CST (12AM PST/3AM EST/8AM GMT/9AM CET), the early hours of December 22nd. When the servers come back up at that time, you will need a product registration code redeemed on your account to continue playing. To ensure you can continue to play, make sure you redeem your code as soon as possible.

We're getting ready for launch - we hope you are too. We look forward to seeing you online!

Hmmm, had this realization I've been completely ignoring Datachrons (the box thingies that you find and open for a permanent stat boost). Though I can vouch you can reach L21 with your Smuggler and be perfectly happy without ever finding a single Datachron.

Found this cool site that has a list of them all with stats (obviously spoiler-iffic if you prefer to find those yourself).

SWTOR Spy's Datachrons pagehttp://www.swtor-spy.com/datacrons/*These includes precise map locations, along with screenshot-illustrated walkthroughs on how to reach them. Definitely something to bookmark if you wanna catch up on your Datachrons.

Quote

Datacrons are special collectibles that you can find in unusual places on all planets in Star Wars: The Old Republic. They are usualy located in seldom visited locations and are sometimes hard to reach. Once you do find them, right clicking on them will start a short cutscene and you will be granted a permanent bonus to one of your stats or you will be granted a colored matrix shard.

These matrix shards are used for constructing the highest quality item modifications. Combining different colored matrix shards will grant different stats on newly created mods.

For the Sith Warrior mission "A New Master", defeating Teeno first will prevent players from speaking to Phyne to progress as intended.

Workaround: Sometimes, players can leave the mission phase and enter again, which may allow for Phyne to be selected. If she is not, players will need to abandon the mission and complete the fight again, this time ensuring Teeno is not defeated first.=================== When using the Master Looter grouping feature, players currently cannot assign loot to other people in the group (normal or Operations groups) when that loot is from a chest and will receive the message: "Access denied."

When grouped with another character of your same class and while inside a Class Phase, looting may request players to roll for loot rather than giving it to the player automatically. This happens most often when group members are not within the proper proximity to be eligible for the items. Note that the window may require more than one roll attempt, but the appropriate player will receive the loot after about 30 seconds.================ Sorting within the guild window can cause members in the roster to disappear from the list.

Workaround: Sort by guild member name to ensure that the full guild roster appears as intended.==================== The loading screen that prompts "Press spacebar to continue" will not function properly if the command for "jump" has been remapped to another key in player preferences. Workaround: If the "jump" command is not bound, players will need to exit the game using Alt+F4 or by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete to pull up the Task Manager. Upon returning to the game, players will need to bind the jump key. Players should use the remapped key to progress when at the loading screen.

Some pre-assigned guilds may notice that guild names appear to be misspelled or incorrect when players log on to their designated server. Players should not disband their guilds for this concern, as every new member that logs in will recreate the incorrect guild.========================== Players on Taris may experience significant performance degradation or game client crashes under some circumstances. Workaround: Players can press “L” to bring up tracked missions. Selecting “Untrack” for each Taris mission and then closing the window should increase performance.=============== Player groups are not currently able to have more than one active Flashpoint. If your group has recently entered a Flashpoint and attempts to enter a different Flashpoint, players will see a message prompt. The message will incorrectly state that you cannot enter because of a different difficulty selection, but it is actually because the first Flashpoint is still active.

Workaround: The group leader must right click on his or her portrait and select reset all active Flashpoints from the context menu. Then you should be able to enter. Note that you can only reset Flashpoints once every 5 minutes. If the party leader recently reset, players will need to wait for the timer or leave the group and create it again using a different leader before resetting the active Flashpoint from the context menu.

I had no idea these existed even though I must have run right past one last night.

You realize I'm going to have to go all Pokemon on these now, right?

Thanks for the info.

Normally I would be all over these, but after spending 30+ minutes using very imprecise jumping controls to get a +2 presence on my trooper, I was a bit less enthused.

I have a skill called Hunker Down that I keep forgetting I have. It drops these two hovering metal pods and an additional protective force screen (between the pods) in front of me. I think it's supposed to protect you from stuns, etc.

With the game now officially out, fans of Star Wars: The Old Republic will likely experience space combat for the first time. Some, if not most, will notice that there is currently no support for a gamepad natively through the client of the game. Luckily, Darth Hater has an answer to that very issue. Using JoyToKey along with the help of a tutorial on Instructables, we were able to create a configuration file that will allow players to use their Xbox 360 gamepad in Space Combat. To assist users in the setup process, we made a quick video along with a small text guide.

Given the 'on-rails' limitations, I found mouse/keys just fine for SWTOR's space combat.

However, since my mom did get me a wireless XBox360 controller for Windows, this seems like something I should check out when time permits!

Patch Notes 12/20/2011General Corrected an issue that could cause degraded performance or client crashes for some players on Taris. Fixed a bug that could prevent players from accepting pending mission rewards.
